"The ideal care for your Pedal Loom Rebozo: Tips to Preserve Tradition"

Welcome to our corner of care and love for your hand-dyed cotton pedal loom shawl! This Mexican cultural treasure deserves special attention so that it can continue telling the story from generation to generation. Here we share some secrets to take care of your rebozo and keep it as beautiful as the first day:

Gentle Hand Wash: Start by filling a container with warm water and adding a mild detergent for delicate items. Submerge your rebozo and let it rest for a few minutes. Treat it gently when agitating the water to avoid damaging its delicate fibers.

Caution on First Washes: It is normal that your rebozo may release some dye during the first washes. Wash separately to avoid color transfer to other clothes. (This only applies to hand-dyed rebozos).

Drying in the Shade: After rinsing, carefully remove excess water and let the shawl dry in the shade. Avoid direct exposure to the sun to maintain the intensity of its colors.

Prudent Storage: When you are not using your shawl, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve its vibrant colors and quality over time.

Detangle with Love: If the ends become tangled, use a wide-bristle comb to gently detangle them. This will maintain the integrity of the fibers and the impeccable appearance of your rebozo.

Handling Loose Threads: If you ever accidentally pull on a thread, gently stretch it back and forth to accommodate it naturally. This simple gesture helps maintain the original structure of your rebozo.

Remember the Cultural Importance: Each Mexican rebozo is more than a garment; It is an ancestral piece that has accompanied Mexican women throughout history. Wearing it is celebrating the richness of our traditions.
